landscapes, two parts

Something you can say to impress your friends. It goes like this: “Guys, did you know there are two different sub-categories of landscape painting?”

“Yeah, one’s called heroic landscape painting. Rich people of the time preferred these, as well as the French Academy. You know what we say today? Boh-ring!”

“The other one is called rural landscape painting. As you’d think, guys, more generic. It didn’t require the level of ‘finish’ the Academy preferred in its heroic landscapes, but could be a bit rougher. Think, like, yoga pants for chicks.”
